Homestead Tour part 1. The Screenhouse Project.

[@dabbydoodle4801]

This man is so humble and hardworking! God BLESS him and his family and give them a LONG life!!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

:-))

[@alanj7306]

Boss, it’s always a pleasure when I come across a video of yours that I have yet to see. My friend, you have created a wonderful and beautiful life for yourself and yours. You’re such an inspiration to us all. You have definitely motivated me to pursue my dreams of living in the woods. I can’t wait to tell you about it. It’s gonna be a challenge, but that’s when I’m at my best. The screen house you built is beautiful. Even better with skirting around the legal nonsense. My friend, God bless you and yours! It would be an honor to meet you!

[@eccanc]

JC, Sorry I let a whole day go past before commenting, helping a neighbor pick green beans. You truly are an inspiration, your knowledge, the things you build, the things you have done. I wonder how many people know what an accomplished artist you are, your style and subject matter are exactly what I enjoy the most. Heavenly Father has really blessed you with some remarkable talents. Your friend - Chris

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I always enjoy your comments and this one is no different. You sound like a great guy and hopefully our paths will cross someday. Thank you for all your kind words. God Bless.

[@jcnme]

I wish I could give you back, All that I get out of watching your videos. I truly enjoy and appreciate your expressing your thoughts and feelings. Thank you Sir.

[@hippykdb]

Really Really Beautiful!!! JC your vision on life is Incredible, it has pushed me to reevaluate what's important in my life and to start figuring out what is stagnant and I have begun to get rid of what I don't need!!! Thanks for the great videos and please keep posting as often as you can as I truly look forward to the next one, Kevin.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hi Kevin, Funny you mentioned "stagnant" because I talked on that subject in this vid but deleted that footage. I try to keep the vids under 12 minutes so my rant on being stagnant will emerge in a future vid ha ha. Happy to hear my vids have encouraged folks into reevaluation. I will elaborate on this topic in another vid. I can speak volumes on the topic of life and finances. All the best my friend.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

The refuge for the deer is one of our driving forces for buying the extra bit. I just knew that you were good with animals (your dog obviously loves you to death and even your chickens really seemed to like you) I'm really happy I found your channel because you even worry about your trees like we do. I wish you the very best in all you do as the world would be so much better with more people like you.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) Thank you for your kind words. I have a profound respect and adoration for wildlife but I also harvest some. It's all about balance. There's gotta be balance with giving and taking.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

That's why I like your channel so much because you're so aware of the fragile balance of nature.

[@lemmik1900]

Your video's are always a pleasure to watch and this one is no exception. That is a beautiful area that you have created for yourself. There is no doubt in my mind that when you do sell and leave the homestead, you will frequently think of and miss this paradise of a home. Blessings to you Boss.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend. Yes it is nice and I have 2 deer in the marsh as I type this, but I can't really say I'd miss it. I have changed the landscape everywhere I've lived and then moved on without missing it. They're all just stepping stones. It's all about the climb I guess.

[@joesgotya9930]

Amazing how many people with so much i.e cell phones, big screen tv, 2 story house, pool ect could be so unhappy while guys like boss live very simply and feel 100% content and thankful for what they have. This is the America i want back!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend, I enjoyed that comment. All the best to you.

[@alanj7306]

This is the life we’re meant to live.

[@Rollwithit699]

I love your lifestyle; it's exactly how I would choose to live. I'm so happy for you!

[@jeffreythecandleguy7683]

Your attention to detail is spot on! Who thinks to put a fireplace in a screen house only you. Looks awesome! Life is Good!

[@jimfrancis]

Fantastic little sanctuary! With 30+ yrs. carpentry, I appreciate your craftsmanship.

[@dadgad68]

Can't beat living close to the land Boss. Thanks for the tour.You're right. A person really doesn't need many possessions to live happily. Great work and thanks for sharing.

[@lindas1496]

I am amazed at your work, you sure have a great eye for designing your buildings. You have mastered so much in life, Good for you, l am in awe of your knowledge. Stay safe and healthy. Best Wishes from 🇨🇦 Canada👍✌️👏🙏

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for your kind words Linda :-))

[@Backyardhomesteader]

I truly enjoy your videos. I would like to thank you for taking the time to put so much effort in what you do. You can see it in everything you do. I try to do the same. In a world where there's alway time to do it over and never time to do it right. You my friend could teach folks a few things. God Bless

[@AeroSport103]

Very nice. No neighbors, no noise, I could not imagine giving it up. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. Standing by for your next update. Take care, be safe!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I wish it was the pretty picture you painted but... It's flat terrain here and sound travels far and wide. I don't have the quiet contentment that I should have with this much acreage. Aside from that, it's not a bad place to live.

[@pamelabrooks2572]

Watching this with my morning coffee it's going to be a great day.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hope you had a great day Pamela. Thanks for commenting.

[@backcountrypipe]

As always a top notch video. Your videos are now a family event at our house, the wife likes then and I think Bella like watching Frankie. LOL Beautiful place you have there. We have been ridding ourselves of "stuff " also. Feels good, stll got a way to go but getting there. Hope all is well. Regards

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Mark. Happy to hear you all enjoy them. I wish I had more time to make videos. All the best to you and yours.

[@brianheidel4550]

Also, nice screenhouse. I can just imagine sitting out there at night, roasting some hotdogs and marshmallows, and drinking a few sodas. Great place.

[@courtneyclark240]

Another great video,love the screen house and im just as u r love a good fire to set around nothing like it,God bless u friend God bless u.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

God Bless.

[@stephenlees9752]

You are so right mate there is nothing like being surrounded by and living in the bush, its like you own private TV station, something different on everyday.

[@ThePwcj]

The homestead is awesome. And I thank you for the time and quality that you put in everything you do. Take care. Paul.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

lovely spot you got there. where ever you move keep us with you. take care man

[@MrJackchap]

that screenhouse is awesome-a man of many talents-I agree,the older I get the less I need

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thanks again. I'll be parting with many possessions come springtime.

[@Biglandtrapper]

Beautiful property Boss, living the dream ...!!!!

[@chinookvalley]

I would be lost if I couldn't look out the window to wildlife and wilderness. Thanks for you and Frankie giving us what we have lost and for reminding us of what we have. "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness" - John Muir. He knew of what he spoke.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

chinookvalley Well said for sure.

[@mymetalback]

Amen to that! Nice place friend. Thanks for the tour. I too am building a screen house and love the fire option. Thanks for sharing, Sam

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Definitely not sorry I put that chimney in. Good luck with your project.

[@margaretrosin7853]

Oh man! A good book, some hot cocoa, I'd be in heaven in that little house 😊.

[@ronduguay458]

Judy here, JC you got the life I know I enjoy living out in the woods, 20 years ago we were the only ones here now we have a few cottage going up but it’s still nice. God bless

[@Bartmans_Garage]

Now that's MY American dream! I envy you my friend. Take care!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend. I appreciate your comments.

[@emmamilam3744]

Love the screen house! Will be building one of my own in the not too distant future. You've done a great job all around. Thanks for your backwoods logic. Will be sharing your wisdom with teens in time.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Emma :-)

[@robbaker336]

Living the Life JC!!! Great video as always!! Loved it!!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thanks Rob. Always good to hear from you. All the best.

[@louisemissouri4410]

Good morning Boss, such a great little spot to sit and enjoy your life. It is calming and reflective watching the deer here too. We had a little family of raccoon's living in a hole on the adjacent 5 acre's but they never gave me a moments problems. They kept the fallen oranges on the property cleaned up and gave me many days of quiet giggles watching the little ones roll and run around. I too am slowly ridding myself of all these things that I feel I'm tethered to. The decision wasn't hard to make, it's the letting go. What did Carlin have to say, we buy a box to put stuff in and then need a bigger box for more stuff. lol Life is easier when we are older not to have to babysit the stuff. lol Thanks for the tour, it's a bit of a dream place isn't it? Looks like a magazine cover really. ATB Louise

[@continentalhomestead2321]

Great looking place Boss, love that screen house. I built something similar but made Plexiglas windows to set in for winter months.

[@samella35]

Releasing at half-century old has brought me more time, more cash and a less hectic lifestyle. Great idea JC, keep only that you use/occupy. Let the youngeons do the back-breaking work & the accumulating of stuff. Time for us to enjoy more & work smarter not harder. Much respect for you. Z. Thanks for sharing this vid. Once again, quality vid.

[@randalcarsten4424]

Just wanted to send a thanks for all your videos. At the tail end of a divorce. Looking forward to my new life, you my friend bring some really nice inspiration. Thanks again Snap.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Divorces suck. Been there - done that. It'll be worth it once the dust settles. Best of luck to you.

[@rysaj1]

Love your work ! you are so gifted.Wish i had the ability to build like you.

[@robertclarke7274]

peace and tranquillity you can't put a price on that. A perfect setting for the wildlife!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Although my homestead is nice, I don't get the contentment I want from it. There's a really good chance it'll end up on the market.

[@jurgenritzhaupt5562]

Nubbins, the scraps of wood you burn are called Nubbins around my neck of the woods. Myself, I would call your homestead Paradise. Thank you for sharing.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Funny, I call the nubs. I have plenty of nub piles around. Thanks for commenting.

[@patsanzone8019]

What beautiful videos you have created. i just subscribed and look forward to viewing your past and future adventures.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Pat. Glad you enjoy them.

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

The screenhouse is so cozy. Beautiful.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you. I'm looking forward to building a screen porch on the NH cabin.

[@believeliveloveandlaugh3844]

I think it will look great.

[@Seezor]

I am not sure if I am more impressed by your lifestyle, your videos, or you view on life in general. This simpler back to basics lifestyle while keeping some modern convenience while not letting it rule your life is just great. I'm about your age but with three small kids and a wife that thrives on modern everything. I pray for your success and joy. Keep the videos coming. Recipes, handi work and Frankie.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Seezor Happy to hear you enjoy my postings. I do enjoy a few of the advances in technology, power tools, digital photography, SD cards, the internet and wireless communications, but I have little use for the rest of it. I can't stand all the electronics they put into vehicles and always have problems because of them. Except for some LED lights and my laptop, my NH cabin will be furnished like the 1930's. I'll wake up on Walton's mountain every morning. Life will be getting pretty interesting real soon here. Thanks for commenting.

[@gunjunky7520]

You are blessed with an advantage that few people really possess. Reenforcing your strong ambition is the fact that you knew exactly what you wanted to do at a very young age. Few people really have that. Everyone has dreams, but few are really so specific. I'm 40 and really had no idea for a long time what I wanted to do. I think a lot of people are like that and it leads to lack of focus. One of my dad's friends knew from a young age he wanted to be an auto mechanic and own his own garage. He owns one of the most successful garages in the city now. I'm not sure if that kind of focus can be taught. But it is great to see such a good example of it. This video is truly inspiring.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+gunjunky7520 I think it can be taught for sure. The problem is, most of us grow up being told we can't do this and can't do that and to stop dreaming. Our desires are often squashed by our parents and teachers and we're brainwashed into believing success is measured by wages. So most chase wages and not dreams. At the end of the road I prefer to look back and talk about the dreams I conquered rather than how much money I spent.

[@jerrypelletier2328]

Gosh my friend....You are living the American dream, my God bless you!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you and blessings to you as well. This homestead will be on the market within a few months. Been here, done this, life's awaiting :-)

[@lindabohm8374]

Have been watching your show for some time, I have learned so much from your videos. I especially liked the one on canning chicken, ibought some whole fryers and im going to try your version. Would like to see some on making jelly or jam if you are up to that. I have trouble getting my jelly to set. I followed the sure jell packs to the letter,but so far I haven't had much success. Could you do some videos on making jelly? I also enjoyed the dutch ovens series. I down loadedall of your series on everything, and made them my favorites. I'm planni g to move to mountana in a couple of years, hope you can do some videos on skinning deer. I and my partner will be living off grid. Would also like it if you could show how to do solar pannels. Thanks from the dragon lady

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hello Linda, I already posted a video on skinning and processing your own deer. It's here under my "videos" tab. I'm not much of a jelly eater but if I ever make some I'll do a vid too and when I install my solar at the cabin I'll be video taping the process. Good luck with your chicken and Merry Christmas to you.

[@samholden6868]

I love Franky. He's very funny

[@dnngskn62]

What a beautiful place to live. So peaceful and serene. You are a good steward of the land.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Donnie G Thank you. This homestead is going on the market soon :-)

[@russellweber4334]

Another timely video, well worth rewatching.

[@dsstroyer]

Absolutely love your videos, they are very inspiring. Keep them coming, BIG thumbs up!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Happy to hear you find them inspiring. Thanks for commenting.

[@QuitKickingTheCan]

This is what I like about your videos, I never know what to expect next, Thanks!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Glad you find them entertaining. Thank you.

[@Brad1237202]

Thanks for sharing JC! Really enjoy your video on taking a separate path in life doing the mundane 40-50 hour work week to do what you want, when you want! Your my mentor! Keep up the great work with the videos!!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Brad1237202 I'll be doing a follow up on that video sometime soon. Got a lot of irons in the fire :-)

[@Meattrapper]

You've done well my friend. I really admire you. I'd have to have a hammock in that screen house - my Ellie loves swinging in my hammock with me - I bet Frankie would too! It's comforting to live in harmony with nature. That's something the yuppies and the anti's will never experience. They will never experience the peace and fulfillment that comes with living in harmony with nature, playing our role, taking what we need to survive and offering sanctuary and refuge so that the circle of life can continue. Enjoy the summer my friend - it's in the high 90's here with 80% humidity. Every summer I swear I'm going to start digging into the side of a mountain to stay cool.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Good to hear from you buddy. I wouldn't be able to handle the heat and humidity down there. I put broken ribs through my left lung a while back and the scar tissue doesn't allow that lung to expend like the other one. Humidity is tough on me. I do intend to come to Alabama this winter though. I'd really like to hook up with you when down there. All the best.

[@Miss449686]

Love your appreciation of the wildlife -- harvest only what you need, take care of the rest.

[@tomeddy3971]

Ha ha ha you hid the fly-swatter. NO BUGS . . .man! Awesome screen house, gives me another idea. I do love sitting out by a camp fire. I burn the anti bug candles, but they don't always do a good job.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Screens are much more effective than bug candles :-)))))

[@thelightison8629]

screen house. what a great idea. it's beautiful.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you

[@thelightison8629]

thebossoftheswamp you're welcome

[@stevenford4313]

I have stumbled across your videos and love them. I find your mood and cadence of your dialog very enjoyable. Like you, since my youth, I have loved the woods and the out doors. I'm about your age, as best I can tell. I have spent my entire adult life though out of the woods and out doors. I live in north Texas where the are no trees taller than shrubs. I miss the woods. I feel it in my bones. Especially now that I'm getting old... well, older. You have inspired me to seek out some wooded land and cabin to escape to. It will be difficult to obtain, but, I will do it and will enjoy my time off. Your words, life is what you make of it. I'm changing some things in my life, what's left of it anyway. God bless and thanks for the inspiration.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Steven Ford I need forest around me and lots of it. My homestead has 124 acres and it's nice but I can't wait to sell out and move to my cabin where I'm surrounded by miles and miles of it. Follow your heart my friend. Run for the hills :-))

[@raybonecrusher4516]

Boss, You have a great place there. The screen house looks like the ideal place to kick back and relax in. You may have to load it up and take it with you when you move to the cabin. HAVE A GREAT DAY, you made mine better with your vid of the home place. Ray

[@willow8094]

What a cool little spot to enjoy the critters reminds me of the Lincoln log toy but your's is nicer cause it's for grown kids .

[@troyroe6021]

You are the man that’s for sure, yes sir.

[@kirknorthof5128]

what a place 2 relax on those cold fall evenings

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Good place any time :-))

[@DEWW]

Thanks for sharing. You are appreciated.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Happy to hear that. Thank you for saying so. All the best to you.

[@1994abbygirl]

I can visualize being in that screen house with a nice gentle rain and a fire going. Oh heaven indeed! You have a lovely homestead, I see hours and hours of gifted hands creating a wonderful home! Do you live there full time? I am afraid if it was mine I would never want to leave.. for surely Heaven is right out your front door! Blessings!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hello Abby. Yes this is where I live full time but when the cabin is finished all that may change. I like it here and everything but I don't have the contentment that I should have with this much acreage. Hard telling what will transpire. I may stay, I may go. I'm going through a big life cleansing phase right now. Even though I live very simply in comparison to others, it's not as simple as I'd like it to be. we'll see. Always enjoy your comments. God Bless.

[@1994abbygirl]

thebossoftheswamp I am almost positive that whatever you do, will be what your heat tells you. You don't seem like the type of man who just goes for any old thing. I imagine you are a very deep thinker. Whatever happens I'll almost bet we will be able to watch your dreams unfold through youtube.. if of course you keep bringing us such fine video's! God Bless You and Frankie!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

1994abbygirl "almost" what do you mean "almost" ha ha. Well Abby, you certainly have me pegged on the "deep thinker" and "following my heart" stuff. Decisions are rarely ever made in haste.

[@outdoorcountryboyforlife6511]

OK, Boss, I've went through and watched ever video and not missed one now. Seen them all twice. what a great collection. Ill b keeping and eye out for more. I know your a busy man, so have fun enjoy life and happy trapping. You the Man

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hi Philip. Thanks for all the views and comments. I'll post more as my time will allow.

[@danm874]

Enjoyed the video Boss. Loved the screen house. Just back from great trip to VA, NC & GA, with wife & pooch. Life is good in coastal AL.

[@alicelewis7261]

LOVE THE SCREEN HOUSE GREAT VIDEO ENJOY EACH ONE JUST CANT WATCH ENOUGH OF YOUR VIDEOS GOD BLESS HAVE A GREAT DAY.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Alice Lewis Thank you my friend. Blessing to you as well.

[@sargefaria]

Very nice. I wish you the best in your decision making process, which by a ton of videos watched....I know you don't need it. Good luck to you Sir

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+The Woodsman School and Guide Service The place will be on the market in the spring. I'm more than ready to move on. Cheers .

[@sargefaria]

Right on, best to ya

[@meckleboy]

I would never sell completely if I were you. You have a slice of heaven. I have woods behind my home and been fighting with my town about selling parts of it off. I have deer and a lot of other critters there. It would be tragic to deforest that area not to mention I love the solace. I'd feel like along if I were in your shoes Boss.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

The homestead was nice but there's no solace there. My heart is in NH and NY is like wearing a shoe that's too small. It may look good and all that jazz but it's not a good fit for me. I'm where I belong now :-))

[@hollickrichard]

Screen house inspired idea I like very much the way your practical mind works, it takes me back a few vid. to your towel rail design when you stated that you had measured your towels at home so they could dry unfolded such simple but thought full idea, we have a heated towel rail fitted by a previous owner must by $250+ can you fit a towel on it can you hell to narrow and to tight between the rails keeps one side of the bathroom nice and warm though. love both your places but prefer the new one not quite so polished and more to do...

[@wildwoodwood2744]

Good video Boss! You do great work, I too have been down sizing on the material items I have collected over the years. The old saying: "The more you have , the more you worry" is true for me. Utilitarian lifestyle is the goal. Would you live at the cabin? if so, would you drive a well and bring in power, or just have it at the shop?

[@Skandinavisk]

I must say, I am really impressed with your work there.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank for taking the time to comment. I appreciate that.

[@toddboone1845]

Enjoyed the video, was glad to hear the Pileated Woodpecker in the background, my Dad always called them Wood Gods. I have one that nests in a huge living Sweetgum tree on the backside of my property. They are one of my favorite birds. Ok enough rambling on, keep the vids coming!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

They're one of my favorites too. Love seeing and hearing them in the woods.

[@rodney12310]

Real nice homestead there Jc!!! Love the building with the stove in it...no bugs sounds good to me!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thanks Rodney. I take a lot of naps in that building.

[@dwalsh4027]

I love the fire flies. I have an off grid place in Northern Minnesota. It is so wonderful

[@thebossoftheswamp]

d borgeson Fireflies are wonderful :-)

[@mikebox]

Beautiful homested, and propety. Lots of sweat and hard work went into it. And I understand wanting to clear house. Take you time, things will turn out with time. Thanks for posting this video. Nice to see more of your place.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thanks Mike. One of these days I'll do a start to finish vid of this project. I need to find a way to convert my 8mm tape so that I can use my old footage. I started with a abandoned shack that was empty for 24 years. It was quite a site I'll tell ya.

[@Angel283]

I am so impressed. I really enjoy watching you and Dude...you got some MAD skills!!!!!! Translation....EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP!!! Something I don't see very often. Thanks for sharing your skills and life with us :) May God continue to bless you and yours :)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Iam Amc Thank you for your kind words. All the best to you.

[@timknoerle6896]

Plenty of woods around ....I love that simply perfect concept. Nice screen house!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Lots of woods but still not enough :-)

[@timknoerle6896]

A man like you and me would never say "I have TOO many acres of woods all around me". :-)

[@Tossdart]

I am casual now which helps as transit is a sweat shop. Today as example a horrible neck ache so not going in this afternoon. At least I get to Mexico every year several times which we hate the flight but love all inclusive. My struggle is birds & dogs as I need a person that can tend worldclass racing pigeons & we will never put our old dogs in boarding. Mom always said a man can only stand on a square ft at one time. My wife is a homebody & I am a dreamer so we are also unsure of retirement decisions.

[@SwampDonkey530]

A very nice place you have there JC, you've surrounded yourself with nature beautifully. I particularly enjoyed the parting footage, reminded me of my former office...and calamity not withstanding, i'll have it back again soon. I hope your doing well my friend..i'll check with ya again when i can....peace bro

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hey Buddy, good to hear from you. As always, I enjoy your comments. All the best to you.

[@goose2die4]

You have a fabulous channel for which I'm enjoying very much ! Thanks Keith

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend. Happy to hear that.

[@alexarmond2551]

Thanks for the tour , Totally understand your love for the outdoors . Thanks again

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Alex. I appreciate the comments.

[@fatsoryan9759]

I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos..watching your simple but rewarding lifestyle is a great stress reliever..looking forward to future videos..best regards to you and Frankie.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Very happy to hear you enjoy my productions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

You're living my dream. I can tell you've made better decisions than I. :)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I've made my share of dumb decisions too, that's for sure. I won't elaborate any further ha ha.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

thebossoftheswamp Maybe that's one of your "good" decisions. ;) LOL

[@o.smallwood4268]

Had throw back moment/videp. Very talented man, yes sir, smart too. Like how you mentioned where you would go next. As a Patreon I know the answer and am so enjoying that chapter as much as I did this one. All the best and stay safe.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you kindly :-)

[@jameslemon51]

Thanks Boss i enjoyed seeing the homestead. :~)

[@tonybright7897]

beautiful place you have there. It's good that ya don't go overboard like some folks with the killing deer. I say keep it all and move every six months!! that way you don't get bored with the same place. thanks for sharing, as always I enjoyed it. atb, Tony

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Tony. There's a possibility that I may bounce back and for the between my cabin and my camp in NH. Hard to say at this point. Thanks for commenting.

[@melodycapehartmedina2264]

Another cream of the crop video! I get notice of a uploaded video on my phone ( Imagine that) and just want to stop everything to sit a spell to watch but I don't :)) I save it for the early morning with a hot cup of coffee curled in my chair. What a really great way to start my day :)))) I was not in the mood for chili but really wanted to try your Authentic Ancho Chili mix. I received a string of fresh caught fish so I made a fish stew and used the mix and it was amazing :)))) I added just a pinch of cumin, not because it needed it but just because I like it and baked white corn bread in the cast iron. I am really enjoying working with your spice blends! I'm just sure it will make a delicious summer soup with venison, black beans and corn, so that will be next. Have a great time at the cabin and don't forget the potatoes :)))))

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hey there Melody, So happy you are enjoying my spices and thank you for sharing your thoughts on my videos. I find it very encouraging when folks voice their approval like that. My "Five pepper Inferno" dip mix is heavy with Cumin. I use the dip as a sandwich spread and even put it on my eggs. It's got some heat to it though :-o~ Thank you for all your views and comments. I always enjoy them.

[@melodycapehartmedina2264]

thebossoftheswamp Cumin and heat are two of my favorite things so I will give it a try also. My next picture may be of a red head :)))))

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Melody Capehart Medina LOL. If you like heat, I'm surprised you got the Ancho chili cause that one has no heat at all. The Chipotle has a nice heat level to it. My heat tolerance has really grown since I been in this business.

[@melodycapehartmedina2264]

Melody Capehart Medina What time's supper? ha ha

[@karenweber7898]

I hear New Hampshire Cabin in your heart.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Heading there soon :-)

[@Tony13754]

Good for you Boss!!!! Beautiful property... just wonderful! And the screen house is beautiful. As a carpenter myself, I must say you are a talent. The screen house is beautifully built. And the Chiminea is great... I see you shop at "The Sportsman Guide" I have the same one and that's where I bought mine. And I burn my wood scraps in it also. And cook my steaqks in it too!!! LOL!!! Hey Boss Thanks for sharing your video with us. Great job, and my God Bless

[@thebossoftheswamp]

How ya doing my friend? Good to hear from you. Those little chimineas are great, I picked that one up at a local hardware store. When I build the next addition onto the cabin it will have a screen porch attached and I will do the same thing in there. Enjoying a fire without the bugs is just awesome. Always enjoy your comments. God Bless.

Thanks for sharing. I like the screenhouse. You have a really nice voice for the narration you do. I have seriously been thinking about going through my "stuff" and downsizing. I think it would really be worth it, no pun intended, to sell and get rid of a lot. That way poor hubby won't have so much to move next time.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you Lisa. I still have lots of stuff to part with. I need to get myself ready to move if that's what I decide to do. I'm back to work on the cabin now with the money from all the crap I sold. They say "less is more" and they're right. I have less crap that I don't use and more of what I do ha ha. All the best and thanks for commenting.

[@chewy05zup]

Looks like a nice little place to be in when you got nothing going on

[@acdbsledsbikes5273]

right on brother I hope you move to the cabin that would be great

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Definitely a possibility there. I may end up bouncing back and forth between my two camps.

[@acdbsledsbikes5273]

that would be cool too

[@bbpring]

Wow! What a beautiful spot. I just discovered your channel and I am hook. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrbakerskatz]

If you move, you will surely need help getting all of Frankies toys collected. Thanks for sharing Boss

[@thebossoftheswamp]

If you only knew how true that is. His toys are everywhere and I find some with the lawnmower :-o

[@mrbakerskatz]

I speak from experience lol,It seems I made a hobby out of befriending faral cats,I have the latest in the house with me. Toys are everywhere. Tell Frankie to get the chipamonka for me !!God Bless

Screen house looks great, nice work. I wish I had been in a position to buy up a bunch of land when it was cheap, now it's well beyond my meager means where I'm at now. When I retire though the goal is to find a nice big piece where land is still reasonably priced and build my own homestead. Your place there looks awesome. Keep those videos coming.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Land was expensive where I was living in NH. I had to move away to conquer my dream of owning a hundred acres, so I did. Dreams are important to me and sometimes I have to make major life changes to conquer them. Even if I sell it all and move away, the dream is checked off the list and I can move onto something else. Always lived this way. All the best my friend.

[@TicklerDude]

Keep up the great work. I'm going to build a log home on my property in Alaska in a few years and I get a lot of good ideas from your videos. Living the good life and keeping things simple is the way to go for sure. Cheers!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Keep it simple and frugal so you can spend on the fun stuff. Good luck with your cabin.

[@beaverrick9789]

Love the screen house, I think I need one! Thanks for sharing.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you. It's an enjoyable place to hang out.

[@barbaraodell3687]

I love that screen house, chicken coop. Man you do great work. LOL never seen a wood stove in a screen house. But it is cool. If it is chilly out side at night you are still warm. So cool. I would have never thought of that. And it works great.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I put that in there so I could enjoy a campfire but without the mosquitoes ;-)

[@TheVikingmaiden]

Awesome way of life. God bless

[@Gonzo3780]

Excellent job on the video buddy...Love the place...I been getting rid of some of my stuff that I have not used over the past years and really don't have a need for anymore also...That screen porch is awesome...

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hey thanks buddy. Always good to hear from you.

[@mikegto65]

I have been watching your videos for over a year now. I have truely enjoyed your videos. Your attitude for life has been inspiring. Would love to take your direction, especially with life today. I feel such peace when i'm watching your videos....Thank you so much.

Happy to hear that you find enjoyment from them. The simple life really is the simplest to maintain. It doesn't cost much money to live this way.
